Synopsis/Details
Taylor Jenkins, works two menial jobs not to survive, but to give himself more opportunities and reasons to finally end his life. One of his jobs is at a bookstore where associate and cancer survivor, Mitch Adams is working past retirement age just for the health benefits. Tired of fighting cancer and also exhausted of Taylor’s rants about his failures to end his life, Mitch proposes a plan that will end both their lives while making it look like a suicide and not a murder. But part of the plan is to be friends in which Taylor is reluctant to become. Unwittingly thwarting their plans is Holly Brush, a new employee who does not let her physical disability restrain her zest for life. Taylor soon falls in love with her, giving him a new outlook on life. But when Mitch’s cancer strikes back and Taylor, now being investigated as an accomplice for drug dealing and murder, their plans for the perfect murder on the surface seem to be on hold or, it might just be part of the plan itself.
